Ingredients

Pork:

  • 1-2 Whole Bone In Pork Roasts
  • 1 cup Favorite BBQ Seasoning
  • Yellow Mustard for binder

Old Fashioned Glaze:

  • ¼ cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Maraschino Cherry Juice
  • 1 medium Orange juiced
  • 2 oz Bourbon

Instructions

  • Begin by laying one of your pork roasts with the back of the bones facing you. Find the groove at the knuckle of the bone where you would traditionally slice the rack into single chops.
  • Cut in between each bone at that groove going only ½-¾ inch deep. When the pork is done being sliced, it should be able to bend easily because of the slices. Repeat this for both pork roasts and then set aside.
  • Next, let’s make the racks into a crown. Set up one of the pork roasts so that the “sliced” side is facing outwards. Bring both ends to meet so you make a circle, then tie them together using a trussing string. This can be done by tying between the grooves in the knuckles and on the meat at the bottom.
  • Once secure, repeat this for your second pork roast. Once it is ready, lather the outside with yellow mustard and season generously with your favorite BBQ seasoning.
  • Preheat your Oklahoma Joe's Bronco for indirect cooking at a low temperature around 225 degrees F. Add some wood chips or chunks into the grill for additional smoke flavor.
  • Add your Pork Crown onto the smoker and cook indirectly for 2.5-3 hours until it reaches around 145F internal for medium.
  • When the pork is at 120F, add a cast iron skillet with all the ingredients for the Old Fashioned Glaze. Let simmer in the smoker, then glaze the outside of the pork roast for the last 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the pork is done, pull it off and let it rest for 15 minutes. When done resting, slice up your Smoked Pork Crown Roast, serve and enjoy!
